Life-space Youth Counselling

Our Youth Counselor will engage youth in discussions about their lives, their strengths and potential struggles or behavioral challenges while teaching them horsemanship skills. Beginning with groundwork then learning to ride! Available individually or for two individuals who live in the same residence where all concerns are known (due to confidentiality).
Equine Assisted Learning - Life Skill Development
These programs are designed to develop and improve life skills. Each session focuses on a specific skill with obstacles that promote the natural use of that skill. Our sessions also include debriefing, journaling, a written session breakdown (for Parents/Teachers) and optional homework/tasks to further promote each life skill. Life skills learned include communication, problem-solving, self-advocacy, negotiation and many more. Participants will learn to work with their horse to complete ground-work obstacles. There is no riding involved however Participants will learn basic horsemanship skills that are a foundation to working with horses. These programs are available to any age and are tailored to fit the development level of Participants.
